Thanks Dan...

2013 Key Largo Finally getting around to installing a bedroom dish box and cannot locate the coax location for the TV. The only one I can find is in the closet. Does anyone know exactly where the coax for the TV is located?? Hard to believe that the connection point is in the closet why install...

Jim, No problem I probably could have been more specific.

Jim, Perhaps you didn't notice that I did not say Heartland had issues or only Heartland had issues. I used the brand as a reference point for claims that RV manufacturers did not have engineers on staff. I posted this here because I felt Tom Montague would reply and he and Andy from Lippert...

Perhaps not but it would clear the waters. It's not the frames that break or bend it's the welds failing.

Dan, We both understand that.. kinda impossible to design otherwise. What I am looking for is who designs and specs out the frame. There is no hidden agenda as far as I can tell. It's basically a question of who does what. I'm looking for a definitive answer on the frame design and engineering...

Tom, There is a post in a forum that is discussing the Lippert frame issues. A poster is insisting that there are no engineers on staff at for example, Heartland and all engineering is farmed out including the frame design. Can you tell us how the engineering works at Heartland? I find it hard...

Getting ready to schedule service near our 'home' park. For the life of me I cannot remember what hubs were used on the '13 LM's. Never Lube, EZ-lube (hope not) or gotta lube it yerself (best)

Tom, Would that be true on the '13 Key Largo? Also, I've said it before, change the location of the fuse box and cb panels!! You're targeting an older audience with the LM line and older farts have bad knees, backs and eye balls. Locating it would make life so much easier and, if located up...

The dual stage struts are only if the valves remain intact. If one fails it will push the other strut up. After many close calls and one #$$# crap moment, I added safety cables to both struts. IMHO, dual stage struts are a patch and not a fix. A correctly sized strut that stops the door short of...

We had some warranty work that needed to be done and two repairs. We full time and were in New Caney TX for the winter. All work would need to be done at the RV park as I was unable to move the rig for a few months. Shortly after arriving, we lost heat during the night. Switched propane...

But the funny thing is, it would cheaper to unroll x feet telephone cable and spend very little money installing it and a temp probe and still be ahead over the cost of another stat. It makes no sense to install a zone control system then not actually create the zones. Dan, yes staggering the...

Essentially, you have the same setup as a standard rig. Control the front ac with one stat and the main AC and heater via the stat in the hallway. There should have been a sensor where the stat is and wired into hallway stat. There should also be a comm cable between the front and rear AC units

Hi Dan, For me; 1. Enable control of both AC's via one stat instead of running two. 2. Enable you to set the auto mode so it will work as designed If you think about it, with a temp sensor in place of the stat in the bedroom, doesn't change how the bedroom AC works. You control the temp just as...

You know, since the cable runs up to bedroom AC, and there is communication cable that is supposed run between the AC units, in theory you could replace the front stat with the sensor and install the comm cable...
